    I’m confused where this zeitgeist about Tylenol being bad for you is coming from. I remember working in pharmacy that taking Acetaminophen was the least reactive painkiller with the least number of long-term issues, but I’m hearing a lot more people talking about how bad it is for you.

    The studies I’ve seen have been correlative at best, and, considering that NSAIDs and opioid painkillers are far worse over time, I don’t understand the dissonance in advice that seems to be appearing.

    Is this more “seed oil” nonsense?

    In the article it says folinic acid is a treatment for autism. Like…what?

      Because the anti-vax people who have autistic kids hate their children. They hate that they’re not perfect and “normal”. And they hate that they have to deal with a child that requires more care than other people’s children do.

      I think we should make banners and say it out loud to every single person who can hear.

      #Anti-vaxxers HATE autistic children

      #Especially if that autistic child is their own.

        Is that as those who are punished, in religion, deserve it? However children are innocent and usually autism is diagnosed in young people or children. So, they don’t ‘deserve’ it? If it’s just random, maybe other things are too and the preachers are making stuff up?

        It’s a long train of thought to get there. I’d say it’s more just susceptibility to conspiratorial thinking, but who knows.

    What a fucking joke. Tylenol is literally like, the only painkiller you can take while pregnant. Our OB said only Tylenol. To attack this, that is in such broad use, is to clearly state that this study is bunk and they’re just making shit up

      Have they tried investigating water? Most criminals have water. Most pregnant mothers whose kids turn out to have autism drink water.

        Turns out they have investigated water, and it’s fucking toxic here in the states. 100 or so chemicals are regulated and tested for out of many thousands.

        Based on the data of the chemicals that we regulate and test for, the reality points to our water as being a potential environmental cause to seriously look into.

        Capitalism and the byproducts of the industrial revolution are driving chronic disease in a general sense, at the very least.

          Gosh, I’ve read about the water situation in places like Michigan. It didn’t occur to me that parts of the USA have water that could be to blame. I should have said bread! Although that might trigger the gluten crowd.

      Which probably cause a variety of cancers, but not autism. The increased rates are almost entirely the result of better diagnosis criteria.

      When JFK’s nephew hears 1 in 36 kids is diagnosed, his mind jumps to someone more disabled than his Aunt Rosemary after Walter Freeman was through with her.

      But almost all of the increase in diagnoses is made up of people who have a favorite train livery, want their food to have a specific texture, and get pretty upset about the itchy tag in their shirts.

    Wow, autism turns out to be not only bad but also women’s fault. Amazing what an investigation under the impartial leadership of misogynist neo-Nazis can discover.

    While this has been a serious inquiry of study, there is no causitive relationship yet. Also I’m fairly certain we would have a significantly higher population of autistic individuals.

      We DO have a higher population. But most of us are so used to masking our divergent behaviors that we have no idea that there is an explanation for why our thought processes differ from neurotypicals. We don’t know we’re autistic. But now that I know, I can confidently say that I like myself, I like how my brain works, and I do not have a disorder, or an illness, or any kind of affliction. I’m wired differently and I’m good with that, and I would not change even if I could. Bobby Kennedy and his brainworm can be forcibly drowned in a vat of molecular acid as far as I am concerned.

      Microplastics in the air caused by brake and tire dust seem to be the most compelling link I’ve seen. But that would mean a rethink of way too much, so blame a generic drug no one will bother defending.

    Well as long as we can blame women, that’s what’s really important. Remember moms, if your child is neurodivergent it’s entirely your fault you irresponsible hag.

      This sounds like satire, as though this isn’t exactly what these people actually think.

      100 years ago, when these people think was the ‘golden age’, women were actually blamed for their children’s issues. They blamed nearly everything on women. Yeah, let’s go back to that: MAGA women, how does that sound to you? Do you think you’re one of the good ones?

      Let’s bring back lobotomies for women who have too many opinions, too. The world was better when only men were allowed to have opinions and women were the root of all evil, like the bible says.

          Leonard’s mother in Big Bang Theory is based on this theory.

          Although technically she should be Sheldon’s mother.

          And Sheldon’s mother should be Howard’s mother. And he should be gay.

          Oh god. I’d never heard of that. That was a thing, started by an asshole psychologist in the 1940s. Legit psychopathic mentality, wtf.

          e: so the jist is that your kid is autistic because you suck at being a parent and are too ‘cold’. Imagine your’re doing everything you can, but the entire medical system is telling you it’s your fault for not caring enough. That’s the ultimate gaslighting. Because if you cared enough, your kid wouldn’t be this way.

          e2: and reading more, they took kids away on this grounds. I feel so horrible for those parents. You had no recourse at all. You were doing your best, and your child had a medical issue, but based on the social symptoms of your child you were a ‘refrigerator mother’ so your kid was put in an orphanage. Wtf.
